Now you’ve started your coin collection and are enjoying adding world-first and limited edition coins to your collection, it is important to understand how to take care of your collection and prevent any damage.
Here, we will be explaining how to store, handle and enjoy your coin collection so that you can treasure them and keep them in mint condition for future generations.
Coin collecting has an inaccessible image as a hobby – people imagine it’s difficult to start, even trickier to maintain, and reserved for people with insider information on the world of ‘numismatics’ (coin collecting).
This perception couldn’t be further from the reality – and perhaps the best part is that there’s a steady flow of new coin announcements and discoveries. In 2019 alone, Hattons of London has released four gold sovereign sets and there are various other coin companies striking collectable coins throughout the year.
There are some occasions where coins may appreciate in value, but for many enthusiasts, the main enjoyment comes from collecting beautiful sovereigns and can be a way to commemorate special events.
Following the below tips will help you navigate the world of your new coin collecting hobby.
